Online Poker has increased massively over the last few years and it’s no wonder that the number of poker players worldwide has increased exponentially.
Traditional venues for playing poker such as casinos and poker rooms can not only be difficult to get to but also very intimidating for many would be players. And offline casinos find it difficult to make a profit given the overhead involved with many preferring to replace poker rooms with more lucrative slot machines, etc.
Online poker rooms are far cheaper to run, it’s easy to add more tables and players can play for smaller stakes attracting ever more punters.
Most poker software is developed for Windows and Mac with many poker sites also offering Andoid and iOS apps but the Linux poker player can also get around the table.
Poker sites for Linux typically come in two flavors, sites which allow ‘instant play’ or ‘no download’ and sites which require you to download their specific bespoke software.
If you are using Linux and have Java installed you should have no problem running any ‘instant play’ software available. However functionality can be limited and whilst it’s fine for trying out online poker, at some point you’ll want to download the full software package.
Not all poker site software is Linux compatible and you may need to download an emulator like Wine. We are here to help you find the best option.
